i am gonna explain my theory of how we do not need money as i said i would before. its been a while since ive put thought to the idea, and i didnt think to far into it then. so its kinda rough, but maybe my idea will get u to think about it and comeup with a better solution.
we do not need money. it is the source of greed. it causes war, wellfare, poverty, social classes, economic levels, and a false sense of need. with out money there would be no poor, but then again there would be no rich, so everyone should have just what they need. but how will everyone get what they need? BARTERING. simple as that. we all have needs, so if u need something and someone else has it, they need something also. trade. simple easy. but a problem, what if u dont have what they need? someone else does, and they need something, so trade with them and then trade with the original barganer. do this as much as u need to get what u need.
there is another way that a non-money society can exist. but this one actually can not exist, atleast not in greedy america. take what u need. thats it simple as that. everyone goes to stores, farms, what ever and takes what they need. everyone works and produces a good. this is how it will not work. people are greedy, not all, but most. they will take more then what they need and this will create an imbalance.
so both of my ideas have problems with them, hell i just thought of the 1st one while typing it. but thats where u come in. give me feedback. i wanna no if there are neother problems with it. and most of all i wanna no if u have a sloution for the problems that already exist. so im me or email me on lj, just give me ur thoughts.
